Thanks for the comments guys, I'm actually really busy at the moment with job interviews and travel, so will have to respond a bit later to your answers to see what works for me :)

rvm notes is really important on *nix and Mac OS as there are missing dependencies usually that will keep parts of Ruby from working, only they won't be apparent until much later. Then we'll run into a problem and won't associate it with the install process. That's when we bang our heads against the wall for a while.

This worked for me as well. Following a Rails tutorial and the Heroku command puked, but installing missed dependencies and recompiling 1.9.2 worked like a charm.

I had it working via rvm but didn't like its large environment changes (causing strange rvm-related errors to appear in other shell-invoking code). Removing rvm broke things, and lots of ruby/ruby-full/libssl tries didn't help. But this did! Thanks.

By the way, the 'problem' as I see it, is that the heroku script force uses ruby 1.9.1. when I install openssh etc, Ubuntu applies it to 1.9.2 - so the 1.9.1 error remains. That is my (non-ruby-expert) understanding of the problem.
